----------------- Introduction

Overview

The LevelOne Palm-Sized KVM, KVM-0205 and
KVM-0405 are computer switches that allows access to
two or four IBM compatible computers respectively from
one PS/2 keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching
between computers is as easy as pressing the push
button or entering hot-key commands from your
keyboard. There is no interface card and software to
install and the LevelOne Palm-Sized KVM is independent
of the computer operating system.

Ready to run right out of the box, this Kit comes with
everything you need - a switch and complete cable sets,
just hook them up and go. By allowing one console to
manage all your computers, the LevelOne Palm-Sized
KVM eliminates the expense for extra consoles, the
spaces for extra peripherals and the time hopping around
for accessing different computers.

The multi-sync monitor must be capable of synchronizing
with the computer's video signal. If you are uncertain
about the monitor type, please consult the monitor user's
manual.

power and is designed to run reliably without an external
power adapter.
